Karpman 44 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hi guys, Wondering if anyone is using one of these for pigeon and if there as effective as they rekon. Out the last 14 birds 3 unfortunately still showed some signs of life and one was a fairly clean head head shot Anyhow I have no problems dispatching pigeon by hand just find it a little messy so quite fancy a pair of these, By messy I mean they shed feathers bleed etc. I shoot around work and have to be discreet.

matt_hooks 188 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Only humane bird dispatcher needed is a pair of hands. Pull and twist, over in seconds. You get a bit of blood on your hands sometimes, but if you're squeamish about a little blood then hunting's probably not for you! What does a "humane bird dispatcher" look like anyway? I've never heard of them before. Quote Link to post

Karpman 44 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Perfectly capable of dispatching any feather or fur by hand, That was not my question. I shoot for an hour before work round an old train station with a small wood, I was a fast effective tool just keep in my bag to whip and do the job were necessary. With pigeons I prefer to push from the back as a pull and twist can and do'es remove tissued from the neck, And makes them no good for decoying/dog mouthing. What makes you think I'm squeamish matt?

No useful input why bother to answer. ATB Karpman Hello, do pest control as a job, so trap a lot of pigeons in live catch traps, humane dispatchers are the way to go one squeeze on the pliers and its all over, no mess, no blood, sometimes need to be discret, so cant come down from the top of a tower block covered in claret and feathers, hope this is helpfull Ian 1 Quote Link to post

Nice, Shawn is scruffy and thick like his dad not a good gun dog at all, Sucking up rabbits like noo noo the hoover in the hedgerows at the minute. It's my fault he is a tad backwards too, Imprinted him with my clumsy cak handed ways from a early age, He thinks about eating and sex now with the occasional tipple. We make a proper pair. Pair of ........... Cheers pal Karpman Edit: Forgot to say he is great at retrieving the missus undies, Gusset less most the time. Top fella Edited April 10, 2011 by Karpman Quote Link to post
